==Name==
In [[Serbian Cyrillic]] the village is known as Бајмок, in [[Serbian Latin]] as ''Bajmok'',<ref>Antal Mojzeš, ''Radnički pokret u Bajmoku'', Subotica : NIO Subotičke novine, 1984; page 5</ref> in [[Hungarian language|Hungarian]] as ''Bajmok'', in [[Bunjevac language|Bunjevac]] as ''Bajmok'' or ''Bajmak'', in [[Croatian language|Croatian]] as ''Bajmak'' (since 2009) or ''Bajmok'' (before 2009), and in [[German language|German]] as ''Nagelsdorf''.

==History==
{{More citations needed|section|date=April 2018}}
The first written documents relating to Bajmok came from the fifteenth century. Then the village was for the first time officially mentioned as a village. [[Matthias Corvinus of Hungary|King Matthias]] gave it to his mother, [[Erzsébet Szilágyi (noblewoman)|Erzsébet Szilágyi]]. The deed of donation was confirmed on 16 February 1462.<ref>Antal Mojzeš, ''Radnički pokret u Bajmoku'', Subotica : NIO Subotičke novine, 1984; page 6</ref>

During [[Ottoman Empire|Ottoman]] administration (16th-17th century), two villages with this name were mentioned: Bajmok and Novi Bajmok. Both villages had about 20 houses. Population was composed of ethnic [[Serbs]]. These villages existed until the beginning of the 18th century when they were abandoned.

The village was rebuilt between 1770 and 1785. In this time, settlers were mainly [[Bunjevci]] and [[Hungarians]]. At the time of the [[Hungarian Revolution of 1848|Hungarian revolution]], in the fields of this village there was a conflict between the [[Kingdom of Hungary|Hungarian]] and the [[Serbian Vojvodina|Vojvodinian Serb]] army, won by the Hungarians.<ref>"Kaponjska bitka" in ''Bajmok'',  Szabadka: Grafoprodukt; 2002. page 270</ref>

In 1910, population of the village was mainly composed of [[Hungarians]], [[Bunjevci]] and [[Germans]], with some [[Serbs]] living there as well.

After [[World War I]], new Serb settlers came to the village. During the [[World War II|Second World War]], this village was under the [[Occupation of Vojvodina, 1941-1944#Victims in Ba.C4.8Dka|Hungarian occupation]]. Many of the citizens {{Who|date=April 2018}} were exiled from their homes (including the Hungarian population) to make room for [[Csango]] newcomers. Bajmok was liberated from the [[Hungary in World War II|Hungarian fascists]] on 19 October 1944.<ref>Antal Mojzeš, ''Radnički pokret u Bajmoku'', Subotica : NIO Subotičke novine, 1984; page 84</ref>

After World War II, 2,090 (mostly Serb) colonists settled in Bajmok, which enlarged village population to 11,789.

Until 1991, the largest ethnic group in the village were [[Hungarians]]. By the 2002 census, [[Serbs]] were listed as the single largest ethnic group in Bajmok.
